In myLot is it Better to Read or to Write?

I respond to the discussions I find that I can respond to. Whether it be friends or not. I will go back to a discussion later if I think of something, sometimes it's months later and I had forgotten about the discussion! I think it's better to just do what you feel comfortable with. If you're here for money, respond, discuss and comment as you wish as long as it's within guidelines. If you're here for friendship or advice, then still follow guidelines, but maybe not worry about being as punctual... Or be punctual for both counts, whether it be for money or for friendship.

Hey drannhh! I love to just reply to discussions and that is pretty much what I'm known for! In fact, when I do start a new discussion my friends tease me about it! I did happen to start one tonight, but that is a different issue. It was because there was something upsetting me that I needed to talk about, but that is an unusual occurence for me! I'd much rather respond to my friends discussions because that is what I feel more comfortable doing! And as for your new friend, please point me to him and it would be my pleasure to help him in anyway that I can! I don't believe that someone has to have perfect English to get around here! A true mylotter will help anyone, if they really care, and I am a true mylotter! I love to make new friends, especially ones that are from different parts of the globe! That is what mylot started this forum for! Please let your friend know that I would love to be his friend too! Hugs, Opal

I love reading what others wrote. There are so many interesting discussions started constantly. I also enjoy writing and seeing what responses my discussions get. Sometimes, I feel guilty a bit if people respond to my discussion, and read it, but don't reply. There are many reasons why this happens. It's all good, in the end, as Mylot is foremost about enjoying the experience. This is reflective in almost every person I've met on here. Such nice people! :-)

Hi drannhh How are you doing today? Good I hope. It is only Tuesday and I have had such a stressful two days. I looking forward to tomorrow with the hopes that it will be better.... I always try to respond to my friends. I have a few that I keep close tabs on. Most of the others I try to respond to the ones that I know how to give a comment on. There is alot of discussions that I have no ideal what they are talking about and it is hard for me to respond. Maybe I should just give some kind of comment to let them know that I did notice their discussion. Have a great day and keep smiling...

...Hi drannah. I think it is interesting to read what others are saying. There are so many different perspectives on so many different subjects that you are always learning something new. I also like to write comments if I think I have something that would be of value to the conversation. There are things that I have learned since I started on the site that I never knew before. So this site is very educational and interesting. Take it easy. Good luck to your new friend.

I am newbie here and I'm still figuring it out. My friend is been a member for a quite sometime and I'm so thankful that she introduce mylot to me. I enjoyed a lot responding discussion here makes you forget that you earn money of what you love to do. It's just fun.

I like writing, but I like reading too. The reason I joined here was to have a place to get advice, share stories, and get paid. I know there must be some reader only people here, but I don't understand them. They just read others' discussions and never have an opinion of their own that they feel like sharing? That sounds like someone with self-esteem issues.

I think eloouuu's comment says it all, because that's exactly how I look at MyLot too. She certainly deserves a BR from you! I don't start many of my own discussions these days because of other commitments, but I try to reply to most of my friends' discussions, as and when I can. That keeps me quite busy - and yes, I do enjoy reading my friends' discussions. I believe in quality, not quantity.

I enjoy the reading and the writing. I'm hardly in it for the money, I've been a member quite awhile and I've only made $1.96 so far, this is not the best money making site I've seen. I love the various topics and I respect those that are trying to improve their English by joining in discussions. Here I get a glimpse of different cultures and a variety of opinions. I'm a person with many opinions and interests so this forum is perfect for me. I haven't any friends on MyLot, in a way I keep it that way but I wouldn't mind having a friend here but I'm careful as to who it would be. I've started a couple of discussions, they went nowhere, only a couple of replies, that's ok. MyLot isn't a big money maker but the diversity of people and topics makes it well worth my time.

I always make an effort to read my friends topics to see what's going on in their worlds and that they are okay.Sometimes when I write topics I jumble my words and forget to check it and everyone kind enough to overlook it when I have a word salad moment..lol.I wish I was able to write more topics to share with the masses but mainly I reply more then write I think I am too unfocused to start topics but find so many interesting things my friends and fellow mylotters write,that I spend more time doing that.I enjoy reading things on here for fun more then anything.I have been off and on Mylot since I got here and it still confuses me at times.lol!I think your friend is doing just fine and I love when someone shows interest in what I write too. and understands where I am coming from.x

Thank you for your welcome "drannhh"... I say Mylot is better for both. If we read it is worth for our mind, we can upgrade our knowledge according to the topics. But writing benefits more than reading in mylot, because mylot pays for our writings(typing). So here both Reading and Writing are mutually exclusive. Now I'm jumping to answer your next question... If I have any doubt and if I can express it in mylot, next moment I'll just start my new discussion. I'm just lagging on commenting the other discussions which I've never responded. More often I enjoy reading other discussions.

I'd like to start a disscusion,but my poor English failed me~~~ wuwuwuwuw~~~~

hi drannhh,i am new here,first i thought that we can earn money in this site just by posting,so i used to select many topics,slowly my mind changes,i love here to start discussion ,if any thing really i want to discuss and i give response to the discussion only if i am interested in those topic or anythings to say,some discussion i just read alone,in order to know about others opinion.so i too both read and write.

i spend more time to response other's dicussion ,but i don't response all of the new discussion ,including my friends ,one way i don't have enough time ,one way some discussion i'm not interested in that ,i cannot say something on that .i don't want to reply just a few words .but i often start a new discussion everyday ,say the things i want to say ,share with the friends from all over the world,the feeling is great .i enjoy it .

Hiya drannhh, I'm so loving your avatar pretty much. It's just so cute! Back to the subject of your discussion, I think that as a long-time member of mylot, you are very humble and I can imagine you welcoming new members with open arms. I don't mind too knowing that some new members are not so good in English. I always tell myself that they have tried their best and to give them a chance to be a part of this cool community. So for me, open arms to them too..

Thats so nice of you to dedicate a discussion to your friend .Like you mentioned most persons are only here to make money and not to build relationships and interact with others.With regards to your friend I take time out to read discussions even if they arent perfect as long as I can understand what they are saying .After all everyione has something to say and teh idea is to transfer your ideas to someone else.I do both here at mylot I read and I post ,granted I do more posting than reading

I chose to only stick to starting one discussion a day because that way I am not undertaking more than I can handle to respond to in a given day. I also don't feel guilty if I don't respond to all of the discussions that my friends started, but I do make an effort to respond to all of the discussions that have been started by my friends that interest me. However, there are some discussions that they start that are of no interest to me. Two people can have a lot of things in common, but no matter what, there are always going to be some things in our lives which diverge from each other.

Hi drannhh !!! how are you doing.I liked the topic you have raise on the platform of mylot.Yes its really very hard to balance out which one out of the two one must follow i.e. whether to response or post a new topic? After going through quite a few of the responses on your topic I am still not clearly understood the another angle you have raised to someone's response the new angle you brought out is the EARNING's from mylot. First of all I must response to your original topic,I would rather like to provide my response to interesting topic rather than post my discussions,but in realty I generally start my own discussion,then responding. I have responded to you and avoided responding to at the same time How? okey the subject that i found to be of valuable I responded and the topic that does not interest me I avoid and again even if the topic becomes boring I still respond then the person comes into play with whom I am attached,B'coz at the end the earning comes into play. On the other hand the second subject i. e. earning angle even though we are all of us on the mylot platform and always remain grateful to the MYLOT but at the same time does all these Internet sites on which we are working really pays enough to earn our livelihood,the answer is big NO. again It could be Yes but only for those guy who are Software engineer,programmers and so on.Hence at the end I don't think that the people who are posting few discussion are doing so for earnings only,there's much more to it.I hope you agree with me and PL. give your response.

I wouldn't pick one over the other because I think they both are equally beneficial. If you read here, you can learn and pick up a thing or two. If you write here, you improve your English as you go along. The more you practice, the more you get better at the language. So, I can't choose between the two. I don't always respond to everything people post here but I do participate, obviously. I participate more than I start my own discussions. I try to post 1-2 of my own discussions per day if I can.

I respond to discussion if its interesting or the question or discussion is catchy but on the contrary it is safe to respond to something you know that benefits the other. There maybe discussions that are nonsense but still we respond to it maybe because it makes us smile or its quite destructing.
